SEGMENT #1 ­ "NewsWrap": The European Parliament approves a directiive
enhancing the "portability" of legally recognized same gender relationships within
member nations -- but in a limited way; the Massachusetts "ConCon" takes steps
toward putting a hetero-only marriage amendment before state voters, but many
more remain, while the Wisconsin legislature approves a constitutional ban on
queer marriage in the first of a 2-vote process that would place it on that
state's ballot; California's Supreme Court orders a halt to marriages of gay &
lesbian couples in San Francisco -- for now -- with lawsuits and predictions
of a long road ahead to resolution, but marriages of an as yet
legally-undetermined kind continue in New Paltz, New York, and licenses may or may not be
handed out to any more couples in Multnomah County, Oregon, while queer marriage
moves in Asbury Park, New Jersey and Seattle, Washington prompt legal threats
and lawsuits; Gene Robinson, the first openly partnered gay Anglican Bishop,
is formally invested as the Episcopal Church's ninth Bishop of New Hampshire
before a capacity congregation; Israel's parliament rejects a civil marriage
proposal -- even for heterosexuals -- while what's believed to be South Korea's
first public gay wedding is held in Seoul [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with
thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, FENCEBERRY, REX WOCKNER, and GREG GORDON, and
anchored this week by CINDY FRIEDMAN & RICK WATTS]. . . 10:05

SEGMENT #4 - Ever since MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OREGON began issuing marriage
licenses to gay & lesbian couples in early March, events on the legal landscape
have mushroomed. Each day brings new developments. ADRIENNE WILSON of KLCC in
Salem and ANDY SEATON at KBOO in Portland report on the situation as of March
12th, highlighted by Attorney General Hardy Myers' non-binding legal opinion
issued that day that the marriages aren't legal under Oregon statutes but that
prohibiting same gender marriage probably violates the state constitution
[with comments by GOVERNOR TED KULONGOSKI, Basic Rights Oregon Executive Director
ROEY THORPE and ACLU of Oregon Executive Director DAVID FIDANQUE, and with
thanks to KBOO Evening News & Public Affairs Director Robert Jefferson] . . . .
5:35
SEGMENT #5 - With a few contrary voices we've added at the top, Ithaca, New
York-based singer/songwriter JODY KESSLER celebrates queer couples' actions to
legally marry in "THE BALLAD OF CHRIS AND PAT", from her CD "No Solid Ground"
